Yes... however, people that know MV weren't making the decision at the time. If you know how that goes...

He means today. Instead of switching your AR to this system, convince them to switch their AP BACK to Pick. -Original Message- From: John Thompson jthompson...@gmail.com To: U2 Users List u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Sent: Fri, Nov 11, 2011 5:01 am Subject: Re: [U2] U2 - Universe - Sage MAS90 - Experiences?

Re: [U2] U2 - Universe - Sage MAS90 - Experiences?
We use MAS90, but only for a small portion of our business and there's no real time connection between it and our UD app. We just do a nightly feed of GL data. The standard product does use ProvideX. I know there has been a SQL option but I think it was discontinued. Sage (the provdier) only works through VARs, so you'd need to track one down if you decide you can't roll your own. I've heard good things about Blythe consulting. I could talk more off-line if you'd like, but I don't know that I can offer much. Brad.
